Showcasing a Collection

Going to try to get back into being better about blogging

.....I have been so busy 

with 3 kids...2 in travel 

sports and one busy preschooler,

keeping up with housework, 

lots of design jobs and 

keeping my antique space 

full and merchandised....

and then we decided to get a puppy.

Besides I am so technically 

challenged that every time 

I post it is truly a 

miracle that I do it.

  

As an example, 

I struggle each night 

setting my alarm clock and 

turning the alarm off

every morning....

not lying...sad

   

My husband actually ordered 

me the world's simplest 

alarm clock for Christmas.

I have some mental block 

with things that have buttons...

we all have or strengths

and weaknesses.  

Gets frustrating to download things

 so it stops me in my tracks

...especially when I see 

I need to tackle a big 

pile of laundry

or help a kid with homework,

cook dinner, 

or e mail a client back etc.....

So anyway...going to try to get 

back into it and also want to 

show the rest of the tour 

from my renovation.

Here's a little something for today....

I was given this sweet glass cabinet from a client.  She was tossing it and I took it and played with it all over my house. 

It was white and kelly green on the inside which I really liked, but I 

wanted to dress it up a bit, 

so I painted it cream and 

brown in the inside.

  

Then I added an orange 

glass knob from Anthroplogie. 

 I have a thing for vintage cream pottery and gathered up all my favorite pieces from around the house to put inside. 

I always tell clients to put like things together(frames, books, pottery etc)...feels less like clutter around the house.

I also like how the cream pottery would stand out against the dark background.

Think about what items you have 

around the house that could 

give you an instant collection.
